Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has made an unannounced visit to Australian troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan ahead of Anzac day commemorations.
"The Prime Minister meeting and thanking Australian Defence Force mentors and force protection at Qargha, Afghanistan," the official account of his office tweeted early on Tuesday morning.
Australia has 270 defence personnel deployed mostly in the capital Kabul, where they provide support and security along with some mentoring recruits at the Afghan National Military Academy.
Since 2002, 42 Australian troops have been killed in Afghanistan and two in Iraq.
